Gender Status

2023
Clothes & Offcut fabrics


Initiating a journey within the concept of gender within Chircop’s work. The intention to emphasize on a general variety of gender identities, within one work of art. The element of wearability was sought in this work, with the perspective that clothes represent us, be it the current self or past self, a process of evolution, a story. A crucial making-process was the clothes not being cut but folded thus, retaining their history. Chircop’s perspective on gender put upon inanimate objects is quite opposing and believes that objects are meant to reflect one’s identity and is unique to each individual. Thus in this work Chircop has reduced the object gender status to its raw material, textile.
